“I think this is an amazing opportunity and will benefit both my studies and cultural understanding of Germany as a whole which, given that I am planning to study languages at university, is exciting.”

Victoria, who lives in Monmouth, said: “The competition was exactly right for me, as it combines my love of Germany with my love of art.

“I am now very much looking forward to gaining an insight into the world of work in Germany and to practising my German.”

Head of Languages at Monmouth School for Girls, Mrs Helen Smail, said: “I am delighted with the girls’ achievements. Arabella and Victoria are both thoroughly motivated students who display a love of German and Germany.

“I am sure they will embrace this wonderful opportunity to further their language skills and develop their understanding of working abroad.

“It is vital that young people appreciate that knowledge of a modern foreign language is hugely beneficial in terms of their future employment.”
